I would like to know how to force Splunk to use python 3 for this app. We don't want to ask users to change the system wide setting in server.conf. The app adds a new input form to Splunk under local inputs. Below is the error i`m getting.</P> <P>"Unable to initialize modular input "appname" defined in the app "appname": Introspecting scheme=appApi: script running failed (exited with code 1).."</P> <P>I tried adding python.version = python3 in inputs.conf, app.conf and props.conf but that does not fix it. Any idea how to fix this? or can it only be fixed by making the script compatible with python2?</P> Mon, 04 May 2020 15:42:43 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/How-to-force-Splunk-to-use-Python-3-for-our-app/m-p/486417#M193682 dgriffioen 2020-05-04T15:42:43Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/How-to-force-Splunk-to-use-Python-3-for-our-app/m-p/486418#M193683 <P>The file in which to put <CODE>python.version = python3</CODE> depends on how your app uses Python. See <A href="https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.3/Python3Migration/ChangesEnterprise#Python_interpreter_settings">https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.3/Python3Migration/ChangesEnterprise#Python_interpreter_settings</A>.</P> <P>Of course, changing a .conf file requires restarting Splunk for the change to take effect.</P> Mon, 04 May 2020 16:43:53 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/How-to-force-Splunk-to-use-Python-3-for-our-app/m-p/486418#M193683 richgalloway 2020-05-04T16:43:53Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/How-to-force-Splunk-to-use-Python-3-for-our-app/m-p/486419#M193684 <P>The app adds a new input form to Splunk under local inputs.

Also note that for warmToCold, this is always how the Python script is specified, so there is no applicable python.version for warmToCold.</P> <P>So try to specify path to python3 on the shebang.</P> Tue, 12 May 2020 21:22:36 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/How-to-force-Splunk-to-use-Python-3-for-our-app/m-p/486422#M193687 isoutamo 2020-05-12T21:22:36Z
